Satellite A200 - 23Q - issue processor upgrade

Hello, I am from Greece, and I'm new here, I know im newbe...

I have toshiba Satellite A200 - 23q (motherboard: intel gm965, cpu: t5550 (1, 8 GHz))...

Currently, I bought Intel T7500 (2, 2 GHz)...
Can I upgrade this laptop with this processor? What can the BIOS I've updated to?

Sorry for my language faults...

Thank you...

Hello

Generally, the upgrade of the CPU is not advisable.
Firstly the BIOS that has been developed for this device has not been tested with different processors, and in the worst case the BIOS won't be compatible with the new processor.

The Chipset must support this CPU;
http://www.Intel.com/assets/PDF/datasheet/316273.PDF

Chapter 1.1.1 processor support:
The chipset supports processors Intel Core 2 Duo Mobile 533 Mhz and 800 Mhz FSB support.

Processor Intel® Core 2 Duo T7500 supports 800 MHz FSB, so it should be supprted by the chipset.

But once again; There are other reasons why upgrading the CPU doesn't have to be done;
The BIOS is one of the reasons.
The second reason is the higher heat dissipation which would be created by CPU more strong that could affect the functionality of the laptop as well.

  • Satellite A200 - 23Q - cfixer window at startup

    Hey guys!
    I hope someone can help me.

    Whenever I turn on my laptop (I have the Satellite A200 - 23Q) when my desktop appears at one point it breaks and I get the "cfixer" window pops up saying that it cannot find the cfixer file, and there is also a date when the file is deleted (it's always today's date, the date when I have my computer on). On the bottom, I have to cancel, try again or restore. When this happened for the first time, I clicked on restore, but it happened again the next time I was starting so I guess it's a virus so since then, I always click Cancel. But it happens for 3 or 4 months now and it annoys me reallly. When I get rid of this window continues startup, load the bar side, bluetooth and other programs.

    Help, please! Is it possible to settle this issue without having to reinstall the operating system?

    Thank you in advance!

    Hello!

    If you reinstall ConfigFree utility that you can t do something wrong, but this .exe file at startup belongs to this tool and so you should try to reinstall.

    Try it and post your result. Relocation of this tool only takes a few minutes and should solve your problem. :)

  • Re: Satellite A200-1TS - can I upgrade the CPU Intel Core Duo T7800 mobile

    Hello

    I have a laptop toshiba Satellite A200-1TS with processor intel core 2 duo T7500 mobile.
    Here is my model: http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=29761&processor=T7500&spec-codes=SLA3N, SLA44, SLADM, SLAF8,.

    I want to change the processor with Intel core duo T7800 mobile.
    This is the model: http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=31729&processor=T7800&spec-codes=SLA75, SLAF6

    Is it possible to change this?
    Because is not a diference betwwen T7500 and T7800.
    The only diference is that T7800 has 2, 6 GHz. And my motherboard supports any other procesors as T8XXX or T9XXX?

    Thank you

    Why do you want to upgrade?
    Only due to the fact that the new processor takes in charge the 2.6 Ghz instead of 2.2 Ghz?

    To be honest, you will notice no no performance gain after these updates.
    Of course, the processor is faster, but would not really noticeable.

    In addition, you should know that a CPU upgrade on laptop is very complicated.
    First disassembly of the laptop is really complicated. It may be damaged other parts during disassembly procedure and more, you will lose the warranty.

    Theoretically, this processor should be compatible, but as much as I know the Toshiba does not support updates and there could be a conflict of BIOS.

    So I would not recommend these updates.

    PS: Check your chipset and look at the Intel page for more information about the various CPU media.

  • Satellite A200 - 23Q - screen does not show anything

    I am user and owner of a Satellite A200 - 23Q. The last few days, my laptop appears a certain problem. Its kinda does not. When I press the power button / stop, screens appears nothing, not even loading BIOS or something, even if the hard drive and power satellite (bottom left) turns on. Well, someone could say it is a screen problem, but this thing does not happen always, sometimes its working normally.

    I'm waiting for a response as soon as possible. Thank you

    P.S. This is my 1st post, so please see the patience and apologize for my weak English level

    Hi fotakis,.

    Which is easy enough to say what, exactly, is the problem: just connect an external monitor. :)

    If you see a photo on this subject, it seems to be only a problem of internal monitor. Maybe the FL inverter needs to be replaced
    But I think that in both cases (also when the external monitor shows nothing) you need professional assistance from an authorized service provider.

    The ASP can solve this problem!

  • Satellite A200-1CR: Question about upgrade HARD drive

    Hi all...
    I would like to ask something...

    I have toshiba Satellite A200-1cr with 120 GB HARD drive...

    I would like to change my HARD drive. I found a disk hard 2.5 "with 250 GB.

    My questions are the following:

    (1) my knowledge of the workstations are very very good. Is it easy to change myself?
    I guess it is, but I want to be sure... I guess that is on IDE, right? No SATA at all?

    (2) if I changed it I lose my warranty?

    (3) can I give my laptop Toshiba in Greece official store and let them make the change?
    May I take in an informal shop, too?

    (4) can be put on the laptop 2 x 250 GB such US new computers laptops from toshiba?
    Is there enough space in the laptop for such a change?

    Thank you in advance...

    Hey Buddy

    It is good that ask you the question.

    (1) the Satellite A200-1CR supports SATA and no IDE interface and that's why you need a SATA HDD. It of really not difficult to replace the HARD drive and as far as I know, you should find a few details in the user manual. There is a useful statement and photos that explain the entire procedure.

    (2) hm AFAIK the drive replacement HARD will not void the warranty, and has no effect on the State of security.

    (3) you can also contact the maintainer authorized Toshiba in your country for a HARD drive replacement, but in my opinion that is not really necessary because the replacement is not very sensitive. As I said above, check the user manual.

    (4) I don t think that your laptop will support 2 x 250 GB HARD drive.
    Of course, there are a few other series laptops which are abele to support two hard drives but I n t think that your laptop A200 support.

    Just a small comment on the new HARD drive:
    The fact is that some more HARD drive are not supported by the BIOS. I mean an upgrade to 120 GB to 250 GB drive HARD is really a leap one possibly your BIOS would not recognize the HARD drive correctly.
    So I recommend to test the HDD first before buying.

  • Satellite A200 PSAF6A - question of upgrading the Bios

    I have a Satellite A200 PSAF6A and I am trying to upgrade the Bios as the current has a virus or something in it and I want to know how to do this with a floppy disk based BACK or how to make a boot disk for bios.

    Any help would be so appreciated thanks.

    > I'm trying to upgrade the Bios because the current has a virus or something in it
    Virus in the BIOS?
    Sorry mate but I put t believe that! Why do you think the ROM module where the BIOS is stored could be affected by the virus?

    In addition, the traditional BIOS (BACK as you say) is not available for download!
    You can find a BIOS based on the victory and these BIOS can be updated from windows system!

    Way General Toshiba does not support Linux and BIOS update can be done on Linux. All available BIOS updates are versions of Windows and can be updated with Windows operating system.

    Out of curiosity, but what type of problem do you have with the current version of BIOS?

  • Satellite L850 - 1 P 9 - issue processor upgrade

    Hello world!

    I am the owner of a satellite L850-1 p 9 and I would like to change the real processor (i5 3230 m) with a 3612qm of 3540 m or i7 i7 and I wonder if compatibility problems can be...

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    A new processor might work properly only if the chipset and BIOS offers essential support.

    So even if the new processor would be compatible with the chipset which is available on the motherboard, BIOS can cause problems. But that's just a guess

    Of course, there is a good chance to get a new CPU if most hardware specifications (outlet, etc.) are similar to the previous CPU.

    But to be honest, an upgrade of the CPU would not provide a significant performance gain. Of course you would get a faster processor, but the difference in performance isn't important.

    In my opinion, you should use the current CPU but should move the HARD drive to SSD drive.
    These updates the SSD is much better and you will not encounter the risk of damaging the laptop.

  • Satellite P300-27 x - issue processor upgrade

    Hello!

    I just bought my Satellite P300 - 27 X, but I discovered, that the processor is a bit slow... so now I'm looking at upgrading processor... I was looking at the dual-core intel P8700, P9500 or maybe T9300 (I generate 10W more heat)? ....

    Now, I would like to ask if its possible to upgrade processors written with? I have the same GM45 and socket BGA479... But the tension is differerent on these procesors....

    How to change that?

    Do I have to put the new bios-is there?
    What heat? I have the dissipaton of heat current OK for 2, 5 GHz processor?

    Generally the CPU upgrade is not supported and I think that it is not best solution for you.
    See also http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

    I think CPU on your Satellite has enough power for all operations you need. To increase the performance of laptops, increase the RAM. As I see it can be upgraded to 8 GB.

    Baker

    Hello

    already made an update of the BIOS? It would be useful, maybe it s just because the BIOS does not correctly handle the Ultimate. What drivers did you download?

    It s a bit tricky, but I think that if you reinstall, and then put the drivers on it, it should work. Don't forget: Vista Ultimate needs a lot of resources and a bunch of useless stuff that can cause the machine does not properly.

  • Re: Satellite 2430 402: the processor upgrade possible?

    Hello world

    I have a Satellite 2430 402 with P4 2.53 GHz.
    Is it possible to change the processor of a more recent/fast (up to 3.4 GHz)?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    Maybe an other old Intel P4 CPU would work, but you will not be able to upgrade and use newer processors.
    Furthermore a stronger CPU would create more heat dissipation and this would lead to a temperature more high which could affect the functionality of the laptop.

    So even if a new CPU would be recognized correctly by the BIOS, it might affect the functionality of the laptop.

    It would be a great help if you could give me some advice and confirm if it will be good choice :-)

    Mariusz

    No one will be able to tell if this new CPU would work correctly with this laptop because upgrades processors are not supported by one of the manufacturers of mobile phones.

    But from my own experience, updates are possible, sometimes.
    If the chipset would be compatible with the new processor, you've got a good chance to get it running.
    But I m not very good on the BIOS is supported, but usually, it shouldn't be a problem.
